And nobody seems to bother (or highlight it which would be the job of the commenter)

I just browsed the feed for 20 mins after a month off being sober and don’t miss the disguised instagram feed at all - short videos, meme comments, no old forum experience whatsoever. But thankfully we have that on Lemmy now, so Lemmy try that :)

Btw I didnt even read more than 5 comments total… heres examples:

EDIT: look at how many “people” reply to that stuff - what a sheit show

    AI is not inherently the problem. It is us that are the problem. But for now, the actions that an overwhelming majority chose to use AI for are just actions.

    Like war. War is not inherently evil or bad. It can be used for good. But an overwhelming majority of the time is either used for evil or ends up that way.

    Which is why I generally don’t like AI.

    Use AI to help people fight the systems that are ruining society (ie capitalism, land lords, elon musk, inequality in society, scarcity, and a bad future), don’t MAKE that bad future happen. Too many people don’t think about the effects of their actions or inventions.

    Recognizing cancer: takes away the human variable, and potentially leaves us unable to recognize that. It isn’t assuredly a negative, but also has massive socioeconomic implications that can render us victim to corporations with technology, amplifying an already existing terrible power imbalance in the healthcare realm.

    Make workers more productive: fuck, bro. Do I even have to point out why raising the bar on that could be exacerbating a problem in society? Are you stupid?

    Lessening parent burdens: sounds great, but now you have even more fundamental existence tasks relying on companies and tech. In society, we’re still trying to get everybody on the same page just for eating, let alone your naive optimism. Why not use AI to make healthcare better and more accessible for everybody? Or to eliminate fascism or to educate people on baseline infrastructure? Or even to figure out how to educate humans in all of our humanities access STEM knowledge really EFFICIENTLY?

    And your last one “promote safety by helping recognize acts of disorder”.

    …At this point, I can’t tell if this is a troll or you really are a bad person. Because HUMANS, who are much smarter and complex than AI are, are in power and are fucking things up. Now, you want to take that same paper-thin shitty philosophical grasp of our reality and apply it to an algorithm that identifies people? That sounds like a full on dystopia to me, complete with no privacy and stagnated society because of non evolving power dynamics and oppression.

    I have an open mind about AI. Yours seems awfully closed to the reality and any responsibility you may bear by even promoting it to people who haven’t considered risks or the realities of how it is or wants to be used.

    I’m all for doing good with it, but if you don’t have rocks for brains, you know that unless we progress as a society ahead or at least with AI, keeping social guardrails on it, and then ALSO considering and exercising extreme caution when inevitably creating A NEW FORM OF LIFE, then it’s overwhelmingly unethical, nearly evil.
